Despite living in the North West for the last 43 years, I visited Lytham for the first time last Saturday, and being on "dog duty" - keeping the dogs outside whilst the Mrs partook in retail therapy - one thing that struck me was the number of buses! It *seemed* much more than 15 minutes - more like Oxford Road Manchester levels! Blackpool transport, Rotala / Preston and Stagecoach just seemed to come one after another. Well used as well from what I could tell. Obviously I wasn't stood there with a stopwatch, so the anecdote / data caveat applies.
